We should have had a crane! Outdoor kitchen build with a twist!
What happens here
Before lifting the new timber bents, the existing structure needs to be prepared to receive them. This involves using a specialized chain mortiser tool to precisely cut pockets into the large timber beams of the existing outdoor kitchen. These pockets are essential for the mortise and tenon joints of the new bents to fit seamlessly, ensuring a strong and integrated connection.
Goal: Create precise pockets in existing beams for new joinery
